Perhaps the thread title needs to be changed to Whingers?

Is it possible that Cooper will play second row, with maybe Currie moving to the centres?

I don't think so ZZ. Coops is an out and out prop and we need him to make the hard yards alongside Hill. It will be interesting to see who TS puts on the bench next year, but surely Coops and Hill will start for us. That leaves Dodds, Cox, Bailey, Simms and Westwood as the bench replacements - surely too many for the squad to sustain so I would think somebody will have to go.

But we also have an emerging backrower in Jullien. If he kicks on in the off season then who knows, perhaps Currie might well switch. Personally I would like to see Jullien feature in a lot more games next year, he seems to have a good rugby brain and can cover BR and Centre.

Isn't Dodds on just a 12 month contract?

It's also worth noting that Sims played better as a second row than prop in NRL. Our problem is that we have an athletic and mobile back row in Currie, Hughes and Westerman who more often than not play the full 80. Prop seems to be the only position Sims can be guaranteed a game.

He's looked a handful whenever he's played. Centre could well end up his position. He's fast, got a good pair of hands and can put a shot on. he's definitely got the right build for a centre.

I've seen him put good hits in but he looked a bit lost to me when he got played in centre. He has got something but he has an awful lot to work on for me in terms of reading the game, handling skills and positioning. I reckon he will come good (very good) but he needs games and for me is not as far progresses as some are suggesting.

definitely has a lot to learn. Thank Christ Wire turned bandit, scrapped the old system and jumped back on board with the reserve grade rugby.

I think centre is a harder position to play than people realise, i think that's probably why Atkins frustrates me there, he just comes across as a backrower with speed.
Currie certainly has the brain for centre (until Westerman leaves) i would play him there. Currie will be a loose forward in time, and play in a similar role as Sculthorpe/Farrell/O'Loughlin did respectively.
I know defence wins games so this isn't a complaint but our pack is a defensive pack more than it is an offencive one.
The Moz/Wood/Carvell etc was very much more an attacking pack by and large.

Get KP back on the wing for Wakefield unless he's injured, cut our losses with Lineham, the lad has no work ethic, his head is in the clouds.

Mitch Dodds? How people have an opinion of a guy who was injured in his first? game for us, he could be another Keith Galloway for all we know.

You have signed Solomona for 2017. Winger situation well and truly addressed as far as you are concerned.
As for us, our board will continue to sell our best players and expect Powell to work miracles.
However, it won't be long before he is fed up, I'd predict Powell to replace Smith in the next couple of years.

This one feels as though it has got TS's hands all over it as Solomona can also play at FB and ? centre. Not sure about prop, perhaps he will have to bulk up for it.

Seriously not impressed on there are they, not that I blame them.

According to Ian Fulton the opposite is true.
